Slc2a4 (Solute carrier 2a4) is the gene that encodes for GLUT4 protein, the insulin-sensitive glucose transporter, expressed in muscle cells and adipocytes. Altered GLUT4 expression is directly correlated with alterations in glycemic homeostasis. Slc2a4 gene promoter has specific binding-sites in which transcriptional factors can bind to induce or repress the gene expression. The effect o…
